Arcade Fire’s fourth album, Reflektor, is set for an October 29th release date, and is likely one of the most anticipated rock albums of 2013. So of course it’s a big deal when Reflektor gets the inevitable “hey, want to stream it online a week before it comes out, since the thing’s going to leak online anyway?” streaming release.
The 13-track album runs a whopping 90 minutes, and frontman Win Butler calls it “a mashup of Studio 54 and Haitian voodoo,” as the record was recorded in Jamaica with production by Marcus Dravs, who also produced Neon Bible and The Suburbs), with later production work in New York by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy (and yeah, that’s David Bowie on the title track).
You can give the new album a listen below, set to footage from the 1959 film Black Orpheus:
